Hi Hat Articulation for OFF BEATS

[moltone]

Hi everyobe,

I’m pretty new with SD3 and a MIDI File from real Audio in SD3. The song contains an OFF BEAT Hi-Hat that I can not find a right Articulation.

All the offered Articulation seem to me like played ON Beat. Also an OFF BEAT Hi-Hat would be more like a FUTURE INSTRUMENT as the Sound starts before and ends ON the beat.

Has anyone of you the same problem before and found a solution?

Thanls for all support!

Best,

Thomas

Not sure what you mean by off beat. Can you post a link to an example of what you are talking about?

Molotone.. in normal 4/4, etc., highhats are on the beat… 1. 2. 3. 4.  When played off beat, they are struck on the “ands” of the beat 1 AND 2 AND 3 AND etc…    Have no idea what you mean by “Also an OFF BEAT Hi-Hat would be more like a FUTURE INSTRUMENT as the Sound starts before and ends ON the beat.”

Hi PipeDreams, you got me completely right. On a 4/4 the 1,2,3,4 are ON beat and the 1/8 inbetween (the ANDS) are OFF beat. e.g. SKA-Rythms are all like that. You can play the Hi-Hat on these Beats for example with a hit on every AND and than closing the pedal with every beat. Actually this would be two atriculations, one by the stick an one with the pedal. I hope I could explain myself a little better.

In Superior you can move the tight edge to closed pedal in the grid editor and it would be (I think) exactly what you are looking for.

I just played in on my keyboard with a tight edge.
